6 Months Later!

Wow!! Where have The Anderson's Been! Well tons of stuff has gone on in the past 6 months since the last post….I decided to go back to school for my Masters in Special Education specializing in Curriculum & Instruction with a certification in Educational Diagnostician! Whoa! Such a long degree name! So since August 26th this has been my best friend….

Aside from school we embarked on the Potty Training Journey with Dj and were doing quite well until he broke his leg right before Thanksgiving at Cheyenne's Birthday party! Lets just say that we will no longer be jumping or anywhere near a trampoline. A month later we are now two days out from a cast and refusing to walk….which according to the Doc is normal. I must say THANK YOU to all that have helped us with Dj since having a broken leg….my co-workers gave us older clothes really pants that helped because they were the tear away kind….Trey who drove us to the doctor while in Ft. Worth…grandparents who had to deal with babysitting a kid with a broken leg! 

We welcomed Elfie into our home…we love our Santa's helper that keeps a close eye on Dj during the weeks leading up to Christmas. 

Even Elife broke his leg flying back from the North Pole one night. He even told all the Rescue Bots about his accident. 

Elife brought Christmas into the Anderson Casa…..he brought us a Christmas Tree directly from the North Pole! 

Well now back to relaxing during my WINTER/CHRISTMAS VACATION!!! I've got lots of WRAPPING to do as you can see a bag peeking out in the corner of the photo above. 

Feliz Navidad!!

Regalos!

Christmas was lots of fun this year I'll post about that later but wanted to share my lil man helping open his presents! Below is just a small glimpse of what he got! Just a little background his screwdriver is part of the toolbox Tia Rachel gave him for Christmas.

Santa Came to Visit!

We had a wonderful Christmas...more to come but here is Dj's Christmas picture with Santa.

Lights Camera Action!!

Well...I don't have a picture of our Christmas Lights...but I am super excited that we have them up this year! We've had them for 4 years now and never put them up till this year! David put up half of them and then Tim helped him finish the rest! I think this weekend we'll go get our Christmas Tree and finally make the house smell and look like Christmas inside! Today is a very exciting day for us....we go see the Nurse at Dr. Bass' office! I'll get my list of things to do and not to do anymore! I'll also have my prenatal labs done and the most exciting part is we'll find out an estimated DUE DATE!! We've got lots to be thankful this year and I want to make our holidays as special as possible. Our year started out rocky but its up to us to END it on a GREAT NOTE!! Hopefully I'll get in to see Dr. Bass next week and I'll be posting our Peanut's first picture!!

On the baby note I do have to say this time around pregnancy has been pregnancy....with Clara I didn't feel as sick but this time Im thinking SERIOUSLY....I'd like to go a moment without being nauseous and tired. But in the end its worth it so I'll just keep trucking along! Also it'd be super nice to sleep an entire night...David & I both are already sleep deprived and the baby isn't even here! Jomi bought me a body pillow and I tried it out last night I think I lasted a little bit with it but at some point I just got rid of everything!! It's winter and I'm sleeping with the FAN ON!! Well I'll update everyone on how the appointment went later today....t-minus 4 hrs till the appt!

Let's Catch up!!

Well its been forever so it seems since I posted something. I offically graduated and can call myself McMurry Alumni now. It was a wonderful graduation ceremony...SHORT AND SWEET. It was a busy graduation weekend for sure. Aaron's on Friday, mine Saturday and then that night we had our PARTY!! I want to say thank you to Lupe for hosting the party for us!! It was wonderful and yes I still need to write Thank You notes...man one of these days I'll catch up with everything I need to do. Well that following week I started a Long Term sub job at Fannin. All I can say is that is certainly interesting....to say the least. I'll be doing that for another 2.5 weeks after the Christmas Break and I can't wait for it to be OVER...I just want to stay home now and get ready for the baby. I finished out the semester with them and then the Christmas RUSH hit. We didn't get started on our Christmas shopping until Dec. 22nd...yes thats only 3 days before! I am extremely happy to say that DAVID PASSED ALL HIS CLASSES!! Woo hoo!! He's got one semester under his belt now. Since then we've just been hanging out at home and relaxing. We spent time with Chavo over the holidays and tons of time with both families. We well rather he...not so much me...played football with my family on Christmas day. Lets just say everyone was sore...David came home bleeding, my sister with a swollen ankle and Kannika with a severe headache!! We're now in the home stretch to the end of the year and working our hinnies off so that we don't have to go into work on Friday since it is our 7 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! We just have today and 6 hrs tomorrow then we get to start the new year celebrations with our families!!

Well it's offical!!

Well for those that don't or do know...its OFFICIAL!! I am pregnant. I found out about 2.5 weeks ago. This past Saturday was 10 weeks. We had our first appointment with the doctor for our sonogram on the 3rd and it went GREAT...things are looking good. Its alittle strange sometimes cause I don't understand all the feelings. But my family is being really supportive and took the news with open arms! David's family also took the news really well. Jomi & David will get to have 2 new grandchildren about 6 months apart!! I'll get pictures posted asap. Aside from that WONDERFUL news I am in the home stretch of Student Teaching...finally it's gonna be over and I'll have graduated! I am excited to be planning my graduation party with my niece as her husband is also graduating the day before me...its gonna be loads of fun! Just 3 more weeks and 2 days of student teaching. We had a very quiet weekend. Saturday we bought a new screen door for the house and I love it. We can finally keep the front door open without Zoe trying to make a break for it. Davids dad and uncle helped him put the door up. We also spent sometime at Lowe's picking out some laminate hardwood floors for our new kitchen remodel...which will probably start in December sometime. On Sunday we had a family day. We went to breakfast at my parents and just hung out. David eventually went home and hung out with his friends while I stayed at my parents. My brother, Kannika and I went with my mom to pick out their Christmas present. We got them a Sony Bravia 32".

We also got to watch Kung Fu Panda on the new TV and it was a hilarious movie!! We all enjoyed it and are looking forward to getting my dad some stuff to watch and play on the TV while he is recovering from his surgery.
